DescriptionRace 2
Alvaro Bautista continues his perfect start to the 2019 World Superbike championship by taking a second consecutive hat-trick of race wins with a flawless performance in Thailand. The Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider maintains his 100% wining start to his World Superbike career by giving his rivals zero chance to attack as he stormed ahead from pole position on the opening lap.
Jonathan Rea had Alex Lowes for company for the majority of the race in the fight for second place, with Bautista crossing the line over 10 seconds ahead, as the Pata Yamaha rider completed an identical podium to race one and the sprint race at Buriram.

Sprint Race
Alvaro Bautista keeps his winning run going in the Thailand sprint race cut short by a red flag incident between Leon Camier and Thitipong Warokorn.
The Aruba.it Racing Ducati rider traded passes with Jonathan Rea over the opening lap of the sprint race before gradually pulling clear until a red flag on lap six prematurely ended the race early. The red flag was caused by an incident involving Moriwaki-Althea Honda’s Camier and Kawasaki Thailand’s Warokorn at the Turn 3 hairpin.
With results taken from the last completed sector point, effectively the halfway through lap six, Bautista won by 1.6s from Rea with Alex Lowes repeating the race one podium on the Pata Yamaha.
